England's shock defeat, Bergwijn's dream debut - the weekend in pictures

England were beaten by France in the Six Nations, Tottenham beat Manchester City and Novak Djokovic and Sofia Kenin won Australian Open titles.

England suffered a severe dent to their hopes of winning the Guinness Six Nations following a 24-17 defeat in France, the headline result of the sporting weekend.

Jonny May ran in two superb second-half tries but Eddie Jones’ side, the pre-tournament favourites, were no match for their opponents at the Stade de France on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Steven Bergwijn scored on his debut as Tottenham secured a 2-0 win over Manchester City, while Novak Djokovic came from behind against Dominic Thiem to win the Australian Open title.

Here, the PA news agency relives a fascinating weekend of sport in pictures.
